and not much different than what mrs. smith described. the capital needs is $1.6 billion across the portfolio. the funding is received under the united states act, and while a steady source of funding many years ago, it's unreliable. per the cuts, it's a reflection of the appropriation process that congress goes on the budget. >> just on that, is there anything you can share at some point later with my office. how the funds have changed from hud over the years, there was probably a stronger entitlement where the funds across the nation was rising and then over the years not around at all. historically that would be good to see the difference. >> the slide before my presentation shows your funding decline over time. if you factor inflation and things, we would be happy to come in and show you. the housing authority specifically and the overall federal budget how it's impacted over time as you take in inflation, be happy to do that. >> thank you, i am interested in before 1991. >> okay, and the other aspect of the way that the annual contri

mr. smith: i ask unanimous consent that all members have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on h.r. 2413, the bill now under consideration. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. the chair recognizes the gentleman from texas. mr. smith: i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. smith: h.r. 241234erk weather forecasting improvement act of 2014, will greatly improve our severe weather forecasting capabilities. i thank the gentleman from oklahoma, mr. bridenstine, for his work on this bill. severe weather routinely affects large portions of the united states. this past year has been no different. the united states needs a world class weather prediction system that help prospect american lives and property. our leadership has slipped in severe weather forecasting. european weather models routinely predict america's weather better than we can. we need to make up for lost

. >>> when we come back after a break, mr. smith goes to the car wash where something inspiring is going on. >>> finally here tonight, harry smith brings us the inspiring story of a small business that started with one couple's mission to make sure that nothing would hold their autistic son back from being a successful member of the larger community, so tonight mr. smith goes to the car wash where something great is happening in parkland, florida. >> reporter: word is spreading around parkland, florida, they do a really nice job at the rising tide car wash. thorough, attention to detail, and polite. when he dreamed up this place, most everyone told john dary he was nuts. >> it's definite insanity. it's really just blind commitment from a standpoint of i don't care, i'm doing it. and i know it will work. >> reporter: john's crazy idea, build a business with the primary mission of employing people with autism. he has 35 guys that work here who fall somewhere on the autism spectrum. >> you don't see guys on cell phone trying to get out

we will start with you mrs. smith, if you can give us a presentation and go from there. and after we aare done with tha, we will open up to public comment. >> supervisors, good afternoon, this is a great pleasure to come to you and talk about this collaboration that we have with other city agencies, workers and most importantly residents of public housing. i will give you a little background. and then we have our regional administrator here to talk about the rad program. and ultimately will be talking about the reenvisioning and rad for preservation of public housing in san francisco. and then we are going to talk about tenant protections and tenant engagement, which we feel is very important in this process. and also our labor communications and work with our employees and bargaining units. >> mrs. smith, before you go on, is the slide set up to show the public? >> sfg-tv, we have a powerpoint. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> i am new at this -- i wonder if this works. it doesn't. so the san francisco housing authority was established in 1938, under california state gove

mr. diego rivera he will >> we're using scott smith. >> hello mr. smith. >> of the advisory. >> was that an action that we took last time. >> no, it was approved under the executive director authority. >> that's explains it. >> we did an rfp after the screening for the cf d experience we selected a subset and give them our responses and choose cf d as the best. >> okay. thank you very much commissioner singh. >> can you come back to 5 minutes. >> mr. diego rivera he will. >> do we have the director here nicholas and company. >> yes, we do. >> can we talk to them. >> sure. >> introduce anna our lead underwriter. >> good afternoon. >> what is the there's a muni bond; right? >> yes. >> and what's the interest there the estimated interest rate is approximately somewhere between 5 and a half to 6 percent for a thirty year unexempt special tax bond and this will change based on market rate but that's the interest rate as of today. >> for how many years? thirty years >> a thirty year financing yes. >> and you've i never saw you before in this commission. >>

. >> i guess this is just another lost cause mr. smith. all owe people don't know about lost causes. they are the only causes worth fighting for. the reasonable reason any man ever pays for them. because of just one plane and simple rule, love thy neighbor. >> love thy neighbor, stand for what's right. those were the messages in capra's films. mr. dees goes to town. pocket full of miracles. he believed in the ideals he portrayed in his films. he was married to the same woman for 56 years. as for sex he liked to present it in its innocent level. as in his big hit it happened one night. astounded clark gable by showing some leg. but the frank capra movie one that will probably be around as long as there's christmas, it's a wonderful life. in that 1946 film, jimmy stewart is the owner of a small town savings and loan. he plans to commit suicide because he hasn 't made much money, his business is failing but before he can do it. an angel comes and shows him what would have happened if he had not lived in his town. >> every man in that transpor

. >> mr. smith, what do you say to the american public that frankly seems not to care. the latest polls indicating that 82% of americans are now opposed to the war in afghanistan. in 2008 the opposition to the war was at 46%. so what do you say to americans who believe that afghanistan was nothing more than a waste of time, and this election is the same? >> i think this election will provide an answer to that question one way or the other. again, if there is a high turnout, and it demonstrates in face of insecurity and taliban threats that afghans are willing to go out and vote. they are willing to endorse the political system and the constitution they have now. elect a president who has legitimacy and can rebuild relations with the rest of the world. i think that would be a very powerful signal. if on the other hand there's a low turnout, the vote is marred by fraud, security incidents, if the taliban can claim to have effectively defeated the election, then i think there -- will be an argument on the part of the nay sayers who right now are as you pointed out, tired o

. >> mrs. smith, if i were told that my job is probably going on end in 15 months. i would be stressed out. and -- you know, there is so much uncertainty here. and i don't feel like i clearly understand what the plan is. in terms of not just the employment, but just the transition and -- >> we can have this hearing back. >> yeah, i think we will need to have another hearing in order to get an update. because there were some things that i said out to understand, and like i said, i am still confused. >> again what we are working towards san francisco housing transition. and we are talking about maintenance i and maintenance ii and property managers, so many people that do incredible work for the residents of public housing. we are in negotiations right now. exploring options. again i am saving those conversations for when we sit down with each bargaining unit at the table. but we are happy to come back, whenever you would like to have us. always coming to you to talk to you. and more in depth about the communication plans. and how it will work for residents as well as

tonight, mr. smithoes to mustang country. >> reporter: you're going to see this a lot over the next couple days, herds of mustangs headed for round-up in las vegas and charlotte. >> i'm so excited for the 50th anniversary of the mustang i haven't slept in days. >> reporter: taylor cassidy has owned 68 different mustangs over the years. >> there is mike, there is tommy there's denise. >> reporter: she's named them all. she's as comfortable under the hood as she is behind the wheel. >> we love our cars. it's a passion. we went from hobby to obsession really fast for me. >> reporter: america was obsessed with the mustang from the moment lee iacocca introduced the car at the new york world's fair in 1964. a market shattering half million mustangs were sold in the first 18 months and as sales grew, so did the car's muscle. remember steve mcqueen and the mustang in the movie "bullet"? as cool as it gets. there are plenty of old mustangs still on the road. but this one, this one has a story. >> i fell in love

in tonight's report from nbc's harry smith, mr. smith goes back in time to the world's fair of '64. >> reporter: 50 years ago it was the place you came to see the future. the place america displayed its optimism and technological muscle. >> your own private convertible takes you on the magic skype. >> reporter: 1964 what couldn't we do? >> technology can point the way to a future of limitless promise. >> reporter: a picture phone, crazy, right? >> it would be possible to do it around the world? >> reporter: or computers in the home. we were all going to live in space colonies or under the sea. it's a small world brought animatronics to a level never seen before. ford introduced the mustang. the new york's world fair proved the world was its oyster. >> it was magical here. >> reporter: john started a group that's trying to rehab the once glorious new york state pavilion. >> what did this place used to look like? >> this pavilion was stunning with lights and color. it was called the tent of tomorrow, this area. so it was sensory overload.

mr. speaker. it's my privilege to welcome dr. bryan smith a constituent of the sixth congressional district of virginia and a friend who has offered the opening prayer today. i hope the doctor's prayer offer this is body guidance and wisdom for the task before us. he serves as senior pastor of first baptist church of roanoke. during his time at first baptist i have known dr. smith to be a man who believes in putting faith in action, working tirelessly to help others grow spiritually. dr. smith and his wife mary have served in ministry together for more than 25 years. they have two children, he's a graduate of mobile college, new orleans baptist theological semi-- seminary and mid western waptist theological seminary. i want to thank him for serving as guest chaplain today. the speaker pro tempore: the chair will entertain up to 15 one-minute requests for speeches on each side of the aisle. the gentleman from texas is mr. johnson: i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recogn

it is no evidence they were armed and mr. smith has a duty to retreat.ing teen agers after the initial shot and that's what the prosecution has. they will bring in a pathologist to say the second shots. second and third and fourth shot likely killed the two teenagers and he had a duty to retreat and concentrates first-degree murder. nas a matter of fact this young man nick brady had broke in the home two prior occasions. what is he supposed to do wait until the young man shoots him? >> david. >> he has a right under a felonous attack he can use deadly force. a min i 14 is a powerful gun and one shot probably would have done the trick. but he shot 2 or 3 or 4 times. when you shoot someone who is smashing in the home. and the door was kicked down. in this case the window was smashed. you shoot to kill because it is your life or theirs and no duty to retreat from a felonous attack or home invasion in your house that is accomplished by smashing the windows. no way, >> it was not osama bin laden breaking in the home. >> refocus on one of the points. david men

hit-and-run charges to the the smith arrest yesterday. 49 versus big decision to make regarding mr. smithting with the contract. 49ers have an option on his deal for the 2015 seaso season. they have to decide whether to peck that up or not by may 3rd. now on the field smith inform doubt about this one of the nineers best player players. often in trouble, the arrest that he had a bonnie. maturity is the huge issue with the kid. he was drinking before the incident that's a big problem given smith previous dui issues. niners maybe just have to have somebody assigned to babysit 24-year-old star and hope at some point he grows up. shark and king resume intense rivalry in the tank in round one of the my offs. these are pacific division foe. know each other very wellment don't lake each other very much. played 22 times over the course of the last three years. 11 win appease last season kings had all night in the post season. beat the shark in game 7. but this year the shark have all night. >> very evenly matched series and both teams respect each other. f yes. it's that clos close. i'm sure you

mr. smith's decision. >> this trial has to be all the talk there, and i wonder where the community is on there is such a thing as consensus. >> it's one or the other. either they feel hi was justified or they don't, and if you ask people, you definitely get polarized opinions. either he is guilty or not. >> has discussion of the law come up, this castle law, or the majority of people seem to be in fav of that? >> definitely been in discussion. how far is too far in defending your own home, and that's the heart of this case, how far is too far. when it comes to that. and that really is -- that they're argument. >> sarah, thank you. >> thank you. >> the law is specific about what is too far, this particular law. the law says, you have the right to defend yourself and use deadly force if necessary as long as there's a threat. once the threat has ended, then you can't do anymore. the question is, did this man belief the threat had ended? did he in his mind say, they can't hurt me anymore but i'm going to kill her anyway. if he did that he is guilty of premeditated murder. if he thought i'm s

mr. smith will speak to you today.stand there may be specific questions related to post-traumatic stress disorder. our chairman of the department of psychiatry, to my right. he can answer questions. i want to extend to the exceptional team care for what they did last night and what they're doing today. dr. davis. >> thanks steve. i want to echo those comments before i address the patient's status. the attention needs to be given to the hospital on ft. hood. they did a great job stabilizing patients getting them here. my hats off to them. their crew did an exceptional job. i like to think my colleagues in trauma that worked tirelessly throughout the night along with colleagues in the emergency department, nursing, icu, et cetera. it was a well played team effort. in terms of the patients, this morning we do have nine patients here at scott and white. three of them remain in critical condition. we have five others, two of those what i consider fair condition. remainder are in good condition. there's a possibility that se

great mr. smith goes to washington story. never been to washington before.establishment candidate by 20 foints. and brought one of the duck dynasty guys to state of the union. he made a huge splash. was really kind of getting a nice ride, i think until now. this is a shock. >> we know the woman on his staff in the video no longer on his staff. we have been trying to confirm was she fired. did she quit. hard to confirm, exactly under what circumstance she's left the staff. so far the only person who actually suffer at the professional level on this is the, the staff woman. her husband has gone public. and criticized vance mcallister. she has issues at home too. >> jackie spears has a real point about the house of representatives. the senate has the had sexual harassment program in place for a very long time. i am not sure how long. each body in washington makes their own rules. house of representatives has their own rules. senate has their own rules. there is jackie spears saying, look. this isn't a frat house. thit has to stop. some one has got to talk to th

mr. smith's recommendation. he's a very dangerous person and needs to be retained.court cannot take the chance that he may cause another person harm and he needs to remain detained as a danger to the kbhunt as well. >> we agree with the psychological component of the recommendation but i would like to opportunity to at least argue that they should not longer be retained. >> the decision is not an easy one for the judge. services need to be ordered, placement pgs os explored and ultimately she must decide if it's in everyone's interest to send the boys home while all this is in motion. >> today of course the court will order that both boys have a psychological evaluation. i know, kenneth, that wu want to leave. i read the letter you wret to the court about your girlfriend having a baby. i would like to give you a break here but in light of this is your sixth referral to the court, the court is going to order that you remain detained until the next hearing. as it relates to kentri rll, th court is goings to recommend that he be retained. the court will find that he ma

according to the attorney, nick brady worked for mr. smith while on his property doing yard work. according to the attorney he believes nick brady was casing the house the whole time and that was kept from the jury. mike tobin, thanks, little falls, minnesota there. >>> president obama made his case for a minimum wage hike a few minutes ago at the white house speaking after senate republicans block a bill that would gradually increase the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10 an hour over a period of 30 months and provide annual increases to account for inflation. the republicans argue the proposal was too expensive for employers and will cost jobs, a lot of them. sarah murray is live on this. thanks for coming in. i will take a seat in the small little confines we have here. politically speak, is the will there to get this minimum wage act passed? >> i think right now politically, this looks dead on arrival. you saw today, it couldn't get out of the democratically controlled senate. republicans in the house have no inclination to take th

mr. smith's actions reasonable given the circumstances? think a big hurdle for the prosecution is going to have to overcome jury nullification. will a jury empathize with him and say he was the victim and these people were breaking into his home, or will the defense have to overcome the burden of his actions? the fact he shot multiple times and did not report this right away? if this was really a self-defense why did he not report this right away? >> state law no duty to retreat inside one's home residence. but there is a duty under law to quote act reasonably when using force in self-defense. >> that's right. >> now, as a prosecutor how can you prove he was lying in wait? >> i think the prosecutor is going to use building blocks to try to prove his case. he was sitting in the basement, he had snacks and water with him, he had two loaded firearms and he had a tarp. he had all this waiting for him. so i think the prosecutors' main argument is going to be, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, this is not about self-defense. this is about reveng

it's sort of "mr. smith goes to washington."hapless people running the government. [ laughter ] >> seth: yeah. >> which is sort of true from what we're hearing. >> seth: yeah. >> unfortunately. >> seth: you are -- it's a great cast of hapless folks. >> yeah. >> seth: you guys are very good at doing hapless. >> we're all hapless. we're all cast for our haplessness. >> seth: it's great. it's very believable haplessness. >> thank you. >> seth: and you -- but you guys have spent a lot of time in d.c. spending time with people who work for the vp's office. >> yeah. >> seth: and how do people in d.c. respond to the show? do they think it's accurate? >> they do. they, they tend to like, call certain moments. "oh, this is a veep moment" or they say, "that guys's a joan" or "that guy's a mike." and the thing i learned, because we do a lot of research, is that -- press secretaries, for example, my job on the show is that you maintain your relationship with the press over the congressmen. >> seth: right. >> so you will sell out the congres

i hope it's like "mr. smithhington" and you're dumping 50 bags of mail on the squawk box mail in the morning. >> if you heard about inflation it's probably been about somebody yelling we have too much of it. inflation is actually low. the federal reserve is supposed to keep it around 2%. since 2008, we've been below that target. i know that sounds crazy, who likes inflation? if you're around in the 1970s like toure, you remember a time when high inflation was one of our leading problem. but were you're trying to recover from a recession you actually want inflation. here's what enflation does. it lightens the burden on borrows. and instead of sitting on it. of and it helps wages fall so sales don't drop as much and firms don't have to cut as many jobs. now compare that to the main problems our economy's had since 2008. indebted homeowners who face foreclosure. too little demand and too much unemployment. those are all problems of inflation. even when inflation is good for most people and the overall economy there

mr. smith, from texas, for three minutes. mr. smith: i thank the gentleman from west texas for yielding me time and nice to have our friend and former member of the house down here on the floor with us tonight, kent hance. today we honor kent hans, who is about to enjoy a well earned retirement. he has served as chancellor for over seven years. texas tech is the only campus in texas that is home to a major university, a law school and medical school and the university continues to expand to other parts of texas. for example, there is a satellite campus in my home district in the town of fredericksburg. under his tenure, texas tech set new student enrollment records and research ex pen tidurs have almost tripled. i have more red raiders in my d.c. office than any other college, so i know the quality of students who come from texas tech. you will continue to serve as chancellor at the university and teach a course in political leadership, no surprise there. this should not come as a great surpris

mr. smith's actions were reasonable.in danger of suffering some kind of great bodily injury or death or to prevent a burglary in his home? some of the things the prosecution is going to have to rely upon are the multiple shots he fired, execution type of shot he fired to the girl and the girls face. the fact he moved the bodies onto a tarp, and of course the fact he did not report the incident until a day later. the prosecution will try to prove this is more along the lines of exacting revenge as opposed to a man in fear of his life. martha: did he have time after the first shot when he took down the first robber which would be justified in doing entering his home coming down the basement. did he have time to call police and stop the second person from coming down the stairs is an issue, right? >> i don't think his defense will have a hard time with that point. the statement he gave was he heard steps and thought they were gaining up on him. could be a whole group of folks coming on to him. he now thinks there are more p

problem with the policy is if i come to new hampshire and take your money and bring it back and say mr. smith here's $100,000, go create jobs for people. nine times out of 10, i will pick the wrong person because the marketplace chooses who can create businesses. difference between reducing taxes to stimulate the economy and handpicking people. think solyndra. he's for the says middle class but he took 500 million from the middle class and gave it to one of the richest people in our country. that doesn't sound like it's good for the middle class. the president says a lot of things, but he does never quite get around to doing them. right now, anybody got a cell phone? you are under surveillance. notpresident says he's listening, he's just looking. to thee not listening phone calls, but even that's not exactly true. they occasionally are. none ofhe thing, it's your dam business what you do on your cell phone. [applause] if we want to grow our movement bigger, that message resonates with young people. i took that message to the conservative local action committee and i took it to berkeley. young

. >> i am concerned with the lack of the use of the scientific method to draw your conclusion mr. smith you drew some curves showing use ,f roundup related to diabetes cancer, high blood pressure, autism stop i can draw the same curves correlating with use of i-70 on weekends or my ski days over the last few years. the scientific method uses controlled experiments, frequently double-blind experiments, not just anecdotal accounts of somebody saying that they stop using gmos foods and they got better. you give that person a placebo and said, these are gmos foods? would they feel sick? i would like your comment. i know you made a presentation on the dr. oz show. there was an interesting article in the new yorker magazine a year ago. , is the most trusted doctor in america doing or harm than good? the study that you refer to here as on the dr. oz show was publicized widely throughout the world but it was announced by the european union and rejected in a rare joint statement by the six french national scientific academies. it was ridiculed by scores of sciences. agricultural technology has b

mr. smith: though trade agreements make sense strategically and economically, some nations are not playing by the rules. barriers to agriculture are the most pressing issue for my home state of nebraska but every the u.s.-- every -- if fails to lead, our exports will be placed at a competitive disadvantage to those from countries moving forward with aggressive trade agendas. to enhance u.s. leverage in the marketplace we need to pass the bipartisan trade priorities act. by renewing this act we would demonstrate seriousness about formulating enforcement, science-based rules and empower the rest of world to follow suit. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlelady from california seek recognition? does the gentlelady seek unanimous consent? wogs, the gentlelady is recognized for one minute. >> mr. speaker, all you need to do is watch one ep sed -- episode of "madmen" to know women in the work force have come a long way. mrs. capps: while we'd like to say everything is better now

. >> mr. smith. >> thank you, mr.hairman, and thank you, ambassador, for your intelligence on the efforts to increase exports virtually for american producers. in addition to facing high tariffs and we know competitive aggregate industries such as agriculture are facing as mentioned before nontariff trade barriers which can only be addressed by establishing the enforceable and signed standards in trading rules. representing thousands of nebraska producers, i certain pay close attention to the policies impacting agriculture technology. thanks to modern practices and biotechnology we're saving water and increasing yields and there's a lot of great news about this. and yet unpredictable and unscientific sanitary and other hurdles are blocking entry into these key markets. many of my colleagues have mentioned that already this morning. but very specifically, considering crops produced through biotechnology accounts about 30% of our u.s. exports, agricultural exports. biotech approval processes should be a top policy prior

mr. smith's from washington, and i think maybe now is the time for us to address this frontly. if only as a going-away present. because this is the last time mr. moran is going to be able to offer this since he's decided to leave us for greener pastures someplace else. i think it would be fitting for us to address this directly. i have great respect for my dear friend from the state of texas who talks about what the people he represents feel about this issue. and i, with all due respect, wonder if the conversation with his constituents in texas were like the conversations i have with my constituents in oregon, if people knew that we are spending eight times as much to incarcerate these people as if they were in other federal facilities. the gentleman from virginia talks about the space that is available now in terms of federal facilities. if they -- do people know that we have convicted hundreds of people suspected of terrorist acts and under the provisions none. military, what do our constituents really ant if they knew that fact? the sad truth is that americans are at greater

and i would ask that employer, are you going to get rid of mr. smith, who has given you 10 years of hard work, and put him at 29 hours because don't want to give him health insurance? i think we're on the right side of the issue on this. the affordable care act has helped seniors, it has helped single parent, it's helped individuals with pre-existing disease and it's helping young people who have surged into buying it and we should continue to embrace it and recognize that it has a value and it's going to turn lives. my message to my governor, if i can end on this note, governor perry, it is time to opt into the expanded medicaid which is part of the affordable care act, which will give millions of others in the state of texas their opportunity to benefit from good health care, being healthy and being able to work. that's our challenge and i look forward to working with you on hese issues. mr. castro: thank you. i'd like to yield now to mark takano. mr. takano: i thank the gentleman from texas for yielding time. and i want to -- i rise today to stage,

jones, mrs. smith, i'm so sorry to tell you that you're not getting anymore coverage because we just learned that you had diabetes, you didn't tell us, you didn't mention it, you're out. i don't know why republicans want to take that away from people. but then again history is repeating itself. i tell my friends, i've got so many friends on the other side of the aisle. we just see the world differently. when you go back to medicare, you should see what the republicans said in this senate about medicare. "socialism." "let it wither on the vine." bob dole was so proud, of here, he voted against it, he led the charge. it's terrible. now you have tea party members that come to signs at rallies that say, "don't touch my medicare." they love medicare. well, they don't understand, it is a government program, medicare. it's a government insurer. of course, paul ryan wants to end it in his budget so i guess nothing changes, it all stays the same. they hated medicare. they still hate it. they want it to wither o

smith act. i ask unanimous consent to that effect. mr. reid: mr. president -- the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. reid: this is what we deal with here. we have a piece of legislation that's been reported out of the committee. it's been cleared by the democrats here in the senate and the republicans now are saying, well, we like that but we don't want you to do it that way. let's do it some other way. the point is the committee met and reviewed the house legislation and decided that they wanted to do more than what the house did. i think we should go along with the committee system. i hear my friend the pleerpd and other republican senators talk about let's have the committees do their work. they've done their work. we approved their work. we're ready to pass this right now which is it includes the debbie smith language but does a lot more. mr. cornyn: mr. president? the presiding officer: the republican whip. mr. cornyn: i ask the distinguished ranking member of the judiciary committee to remind me what the challenges with the justice f

mr. smith: they're experiencing huge increases in their monthly premiums and bureaucrats are continuing to get between doctors and patients. additionally, workers are seeing reduced hours because of a 30-hour rule contained in obamacare. the save american workers act 30-hour al obamacare's rule. because of this legislation, small businesses will no longer be forced to choose between providing health insurance to part-time workers or drastically cutting jobs or even eliminating employees. a recent study estimated the 30-hour workweek rule could cost as many as 2.6 million american jobs. make no mistake, i'm still fighting to fully repeal obamacare, but the save american workers act will not fix every problem with the obamacare health care mandate but it will save millions of americans jobs and help americans struggling to make ends meet. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from georgia rise? >> i ask unanimous consent to ad

of the adaptation of the general plan >> good afternoon commissioner president wu i'm steven smith from the mr. vice president. the item before you is the certification of the environmental impact report or eir of the housing element it was prepared for the quality act through sequa. i'm sure you're aware of the city previously reviewed the elements in the eir which the commission certified the board of supervisors deposited it from the plan. subsequently it was challenged in san francisco supreme court the supreme court found it compiled with the sequa and the cities recreation of those alternatives to the sequa findings. the court ordered the consideration of reapprovals. the directive recalibrated the section because the court upheld the portions of the eir other sections were not circulated because no consortiums. so for the revised eir was 60 days and included a public hearing on january 23rd, 2014. in accordance with the request of the planning commissions the document addresses the eir comments was published on april 10, 2014. through the revitalization of the alternative sections no ch
